How to Structure a Scientific Report with Multiple Experiments?

[hhhmortal]

Homework Statement

I know there's the following sections:


Abstract
Introduction
Method Used
Results
Data analysis
Discussion
Conclusion
Awknowledgement
References

But when there are two areas of the experiment to be investigated, say measuring the wavelength of light for green and yellow using diffraction gratings, do you talk about them in these headings, or do you create these headings again for each part of the experiment?

Of course I don't know exactly what your experiment looks like, but it would seem logical to me that you have two separate sets of results for green and yellow. So I would make subsections "Green" and "Yellow" in the results and data analysis section. The method used is probably the same for both, isn't it? Also, in the discussion and conclusion, you probably don't need two different sections. It can look like: "The data from section ... show that green light is a primary color on most computer displays, while we have shown in table ... from section... that yellow is not" - e.g. you can mix it into one running story.
